  1. Radio button in Workflow Manager

    To improve the ease of use, radio buttons should be implemented in the Workflow Manager. We have such buttons, we can create for example “yes” and “no” in one decision, and the user can just click once instead of open a select list and search for the correct value

  2. Memo field in Workflow Manager

    At the moment you can add a comment with max. 255 characters. In some reasons this is not enough, and it would be great if also the memo field can be used in the Workflow Manager.

  3. Workflow Designer : Request for a new activity “Stamp”

    We would really use an activity “Stamp” which would allow us to insert stamp without using a Task (i.e. inserting the stamp automatically on the document). For instance we would use a Task in a loop until some specific variables as set, with condition, and we would like to add a stamp only when the loop finish but not each time the task is repeated.

    Thank you for your idea. Right now we are focusing on other topics, so we are not considering this idea for future releases. If the demand for this topic increases, we might add it to future plans.

    You can use a condition before the task and then use two different tasks. This seems to be a little more complicated, but structures the workflow easier readable and makes the single tasks less difficult to configure.

  5. Disable document lock for parallel task also for Cloud customer

    In some processes, tasks can be assigned to different departments.
    The problem is that many users cannot work on the same task at the same time.
    This is frustrating if several users have tasks to perform and cannot do so because another user has the task selected but is not working on it.
    Another example, a background workflow may need to update fields but cannot because the task is blocked by the user.
    This problem has been solved for on premise systems.
    I suggest making it possible for cloud customers as well.

  6. send a single notification to a specific time and show all documents as a "task list"

    by reminder or expiration date, send a single notification to a specific time and show all documents as a "task list", this because when working with many documents, is not friendly to receive many emails at once.

    additionally, there is no need to change the document task because reassign not imply skip the task

  7. Function to lock a fillable PDF in the workflow to prevent further modification

    The overall process surrounding the question is a PO Form, which I’ve created in DocuWare. That form triggers an Approval workflow. In the workflow I also add line totals, overall total and the name of the final approver onto the fillable PDF document. Once the document is approved, the workflow sends the PO to the supplier. The problem is that at this moment the order is still fillable… I need that document to be a non-fillable PDF… Problem is that I can’t create the non-fillable PDF with the form as I then can’t add the line totals etc. to the…

  9. Allow usage of different SMTP Configuration in Workflows

    You can create multiple SMTP Configurations but you cannot select different ones in workflow email tasks, you should be able to from a dropdown select which configuration you wish to use for that task, or at a workflow level select it as well.

  10. Allow nested operators in workflow designer

    For the trigger conditions, it should have the same functionality as the file cabinet profile index filters. We should be able to set if Field1 is equal to Value1 AND Field2 is empty OR if Field3 is empty OR if Field4 is empty.

  11. Visual improvements to Workflow Designer

    I would like the ability to reorder Decisions within a task and their outputs, alter the size and shape of activities, and select a bunch of the activities and move them all at once. Right now it is very tedious and time-consuming to design a workflow that is visually clear.

    Thank you for your contribution. We are now working on a new version of the Workflow Designer, which will bring a whole new user experience, so we set this wish to “Planned”.
    I’d like to point out that a couple of things are possible in the meantime, like reordering decision and now also reordering data assignments. Multiselect will come with the new version.
    In case of changing size and shape of the activities, we are not planning to do this currently.
    I’d be happy to learn why and how this would help you in your daily work.

  12. Role list for Workflow Manager

    With DocuWare 6.6 we can select multiple roles in using the Workflow Manager. That's nice but we need a "role list" as we have it with the Substitution list.

    If we allow the user to choose a role for the next task, he can see all existing roles (!) also the "Default Organisation Role". You need to specify which roles the use can see for two important reasons.
    1. Depending on the workflow one user need only a couple of roles in the list and not all.
    2. The Roles are also used for the authorization management. And these roles…

  13. Workflow Designer: Assign a task to a role expect specific users

    We would like the possibility to assign a task to any member of a role, except some specific users. The use case would be in a 4-eyes principle workflow, where in a same role one user must perform an action and another user (not especially an n+1) from the same role must review the action.

  14. Workflow Designer - Add Attachment as task completion option

    Create an option for attachment of documents to existing workflow manager for completion of task and have the document staple to the current file. Ex; Attach a shipping document to a PO for verification.

    Currently the option to clip documents to it and moving the workflow is an option, but am having it requested that an attachment HAS to be placed before proceeding.

  15. Enterprise Server needs to allow for different Workflow Engine URL based on local web server.

    Customer has a main office location (A) and a secondary location (B). Each has there own DocuWare Workflow engine instance.

    When an email notification from the workflow engine on B is emailed it uses a URL for site A, site A also uses a URL for A.

    A needs workflow URL's for A
    B needs workflow URL's for B

    Cause: A & B are different domains and users of B do not have access to A through the company network.

  16. Task List: Assign a certain result list per task, per workflow, for workflow controllers.

    Result lists are useful. Having multiple result lists is a necessary feature which exists for good reason. However, all users of all task lists have the same result list configuration. Whichever result list is picked as "Default" is used for every task list system-wide.

    Example: Accounting users (especially workflow controllers) should be able to have different options available compared to approvers.

    This also goes for the "edit index entries" dialog of the result list. Even if an approver has (and needs) permissions to edit certain fields for workflow tasks, we do not want to present this as an option when…

  17. Allow search inside workflow designer.

    Allow search of keywords inside designer. It is very difficult to find where you may need to make changes to steps, dialogs or assignments in the workflow designer. This is especially true in large workflows. You should have the ability to search the entire workflow canvas for terms to easily isolate and change activities. Additionally, it would be useful to have a code view or code export to allow for better debugging and visibility into the workflow activity without having to use the GUI for all development.

  18. Allow to configure automatic stamps with blackground colour in Workflow Manager

    As you can not set an specific location for the automatic stamps in Workflow Manager, sometimes it can be stamped over the text of the document....if you can select a colour for the background of the stamp, at least you can see better the text included in the stamp

  19. Development mode for Workflows

    It would be nice to have a switch that would enable/disable notifications of non-controllers for workflows. This would allow the notifications to be put in place during testing and then enabled en masse when rolling the workflow out.

    It would be even better if there was a way to redirect all notifications to the Controllers/Admins on a development workflow. That way the workflows can be confirmed as working, without spamming the end users before the workflow is ready.

  20. allow list-type Role variables to be used as select lists in tasks

    When creating a decision as part of a task and adding the various fields to the form, we can tie a select list to a field (for all the usual reasons). However, we can only use the select lists we've configured in the Admin Tool (or configurations). It would be great if we could use lists that we dynamically create as part of the workflow using the new Role variable. This would enable more customization of the workflow decisions, and since we already have the list-type Role global variable it might not be that hard to just allow the usage…
